1 Kernel driver ntc_thermistor
5 * Murata NTC Thermistors NCP15WB473, NCP18WB473, NCP21WB473, NCP03WB473, NCP15WL333
6 Prefixes: 'ncp15wb473', 'ncp18wb473', 'ncp21wb473', 'ncp03wb473', 'ncp15wl333'
7 Datasheet: Publicly available at Murata
9 Other NTC thermistors can be supported simply by adding compensation
10 tables; e.g., NCP15WL333 support is added by the table ncpXXwl333.

18 The NTC thermistor is a simple thermistor that requires users to provide the
19 resistance and lookup the corresponding compensation table to get the
22 The NTC driver provides lookup tables with a linear approximation function
23 and four circuit models with an option not to use any of the four models.
25 The four circuit models provided are:
27 $: resister, [TH]: the thermistor
29 1. connect = NTC_CONNECTED_POSITIVE, pullup_ohm > 0
35 +----+-----------------------[read_uV]
41 2. connect = NTC_CONNECTED_POSITIVE, pullup_ohm = 0 (not-connected)
47 +----------------------------[read_uV]
53 3. connect = NTC_CONNECTED_GROUND, pulldown_ohm > 0
59 +----+-----------------------[read_uV]
65 4. connect = NTC_CONNECTED_GROUND, pulldown_ohm = 0 (not-connected)
71 +----------------------------[read_uV]
77 When one of the four circuit models is used, read_uV, pullup_uV, pullup_ohm,
78 pulldown_ohm, and connect should be provided. When none of the four models
79 are suitable or the user can get the resistance directly, the user should
80 provide read_ohm and _not_ provide the others.
84 name the mandatory global attribute, the thermistor name.
86 temp1_type always 4 (thermistor)
89 temp1_input measure the temperature and provide the measured value.
90 (reading this file initiates the reading procedure.)
93 Note that each NTC thermistor has only _one_ thermistor; thus, only temp1 exists.
